Just for curiosity sake.... I just turned on my DAW computer.... made sure the speakers were on..... opened BiaB .... and played something on my keyboard.

What I was playing came out of the speakers.

Once you get the soundcard and driver issue set up properly, the midi keyboard should work.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
